A simple clutch made of leather and knitwear: a master class
Step 1
Download the pattern here and print.
Step 2
Cut out parts from leather (the main part is made of leather of one color, 2 valve parts, the outer and inner parts are made of leather of another color; the valve part can also be cut one, see the downloaded diagram).
Step 3
Punch holes in the clutch part at a distance of 0.6 cm from the edge and at distances of 0.6 cm from each other (see photo).
Step 4
Fold the clutch, as shown in the photo, and fasten with clamps so that the parts do not move relative to each other. Using a thin pen, transfer hole marks to the bottom layer of skin. Remove the clips, unfold the clutch and punch holes in the marked areas.Repeat the procedure with valve parts.
Step 5
Manually sew the seams of the main part of the clutch: sew the needle forward in the seam first in one direction and then back, closing the gaps with stitches.
Step 6
If your valve is in two parts, sew them with the sides facing out. Then sew the valve to the clutch.
Step 7
Cut the lock holes with a breadboard knife and install the lock. Done.
